PROTESTS following the election of Donald Trump "don't work" and just "create disruptions", according to the co-founder of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Left-wing activist Micah White – who played a key role in the Occupy movement against the global elite – admitted street protests in the wake of Trump’s shock victory over Clinton would achieve nothing.
His admission on Newsnight comes after several nights of fierce protesting in dozens of cities across the US, including New York, Chicago, Austin, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Dallas. Express.
Additionally, we should perhaps note how often, over years, the 'popular vote' has led to 'the wrong government in the UK'. Labour has benefited consistently from skewed boundaries - a matter which should be addressed in our 'two party state'.
Worse still is the the effective disenfranchisement of almost 4 million Ukip voters. It is beyond ironic that the EU electoral system is actually fairer than our own wretched system. (You would struggle to find any other area in which 'the EU does it better'.)
